When the people Of the United States
shall be deprived of the constant influx
of foreign blood from Europe, tn will
finally dcvelope into fixed aud regular
American type. This peculiarly will
have as its distinguishing characteristics
slenderness of form, disposition TO great
muscular activity, extreme nervous sem
sitiveness, remarkable quickncss of in
tellectual apprehension and general
alertness.
These arc to great extent the
characteristics of the American Indians,
and when the white race shall become
thoroughly localized in North America
1t will conform to the type of the Indians
IN their chief physical qualities That
the whites who have been in America
for a few generations have alresdy be-
gun to assume the Indian type of bodily
configuration has repeatedly been rccog-
nized and declared by competent physi-
ologists and anatomists. The artists
who are ever alive to the peculiarities of
form, have not failed to notice that a
certain slenderness of figure has become
so far characteristic of the Americans
that it has never been omitted i'm apy
pictorial representations, and the typical
Yankee of the caricaturist, as well as the
typical Southerner, is always shown as a
tall, slender, muscular, nervous person
age. 1t may not be out of place to add
to the testimony of the Psychologist and
the artist on these points that of the
commercial man, which is fully cor
roborativc of their observation. An i'm
porter of French and German gloves
said to the writer that such articles in
tended for the American trade had to be
manufactured expressly because the
hands of the Americans are longer in
proportion to breadth than those of the
typical French and German people, and
the fingers as a rule are longer and more
slender
Enough has been said to show that
there will one day be characteristic
type of form for the American people.
and that there will in consequence be
type OF American beauty. Already tho
American women are being recognized
rs the most beautiful in the world. The
uncrowned queens and untitled prlncesscs
from the United States are by the force
OF their charms rapidly winning titles
and social supremacy among the old
world aristocracy. But the American
women are only in the infancy of their
reign In the realms of beauty. They are
to have their charms recognized through
out the civilized world rs the queen of
loneliness, and what tho Egyptian
women were to the world for many
centuries 1000 to 5000 years ago the
American women will be in the future.

Who Is the king In this beautiful land,
In this beautiful land Of the palm and
Pine.
With its valleys green and its mountain,
grand,
With its oil and corn and wine,
With it's mines Of silver and gold, It's gems.
Fit for the kngliest diadens;
With its cities fair and its prairies free,
Strefching from sea TO sea,
Who wears the sign. on his brow and hand,
OF king in this beautiful land,
Is IL he who holds in his hands the KEYS
W the vaults where the gold and silver
hide,
Whose great white ships on the mighty seas
Laden with treasures ride,
Is IL he who looks 10 the eas. and west,
And sees, wherever his glanees rest,
His own green vines his fertile fields,
With their ever-bountiful yieldsi
Does he wear the seal and sign
or king by right divine,
Is 1t he whose need of a noble fame
Is won on the terrible fields Of war,
Whom the nations hail with loud acclaim
As hero and conqueror.
Or is IL he who in patience delves
For the wisdom stored on the centuries
shelvesl
Who seeks with n masters eye to scan
The secrets hidden in natures plan,
Shall we crown the scholar with one accord,
Or him OF tho conquering sword!
Is 1t that one who sings wonderful songs,
Whose lips are touched with the altar fire.
Who sways the heart of the listening throng
AS the wind the chordei lyrel
Is it he who carves from the marble white
His own great thought for the worlds de
Light
Is 1t he who paints in colors rare
As those that his own dream-pictures wear,
Shall artist or poet for their renown
Wear the scepter and the crown,
Though the poet his truest song shall sing.
Though the drums of fame for the soldier
beat,
Though tho scholar his truest lore shall brine,
And lay at glad woi Ids feet.
Though the picture glow and the marble
CLEAN,
with the beauty born of the artists dream
Though the landed lord in his hand shall hold
Treasures of silver and finest gold,
Though crowned with honors fair and fit.
None of these on the throne shall sit
lsthere then no one in this beautiful land
This fairest land on the great round globe.
To wear the ring on his royal hand!
To wear the purple robe,

From the sounding sea, from the heights Sc.

PRINCE" KNEW.

We were discussing dogs aud their in
stinct and intelligence, when Capt.
Clark, native of Illinois, related an in
cident that will bear repeating to the
general public.
About ten years ago the Captain pur-
chased some land on the south branch
OF the big Wichita River, Texas, and a
few months later went out to make ar
engagements for establishing ranch. He
took with him large shepherd dog of
great natural intelligence. From Fort
Worth he journcyed to within twenty
five miles Of his destination by rail. At
the fort he hired horse for n week. cot
his directions about the roads. and set
off in good spirits. 1t was lovely
weather and bracing atmosphere. and
the Captain was jolly enough until after
the first five miles had been covered he
noticed that Prince, " the dog, was act
ing IN n very queer manner. Three diff
ierent times the dog headed the horse
as II to turn him back, and when this
did not avail he sat down in tho road
and howled in the most dismal manner
The Captain got down to look him over.
but could find nothing wrong. The dog
would look mp at him and whine and
bark and run back toward the town. ard
when his master refused to follow him
he again set up n lamcntable howliDo.
No such conduct had ever been noticed
in him before, and the Captain finally
concluded that the dog was .'on" on ac-

GhdstIu York of Ark

In the Pitt palace, at Florence. is a
table which for originality in the matter
OF construction and ghastliness in con.
ception is probably without rival. 1t
was made by Giuseppe Sagatti, who
passed several years of his life in its
manufacture. To the casual observer il.
gives the impression of curious mosaic
OF marbles Of different shades and col
ors, for it looks like polished stone. In
reality 1T is composed of human muscles
and viscera. No less than hundred
bodies were requisitioned for the mate
rial. The table is round and about n
yard In diameter, with a pedestal and
four claw feet, the whole being formed
of petrified human remains. The orna..
ments of the pedestal arc made from the
intestines, the claws, with hearts, liv-
ers, and lungs the natural color of
which is preserved. The table top is
constructed OF muscles artisticallv ar
ranged, and it is bordered with upward
of hundred eyes, the effect Of which
is said to be highly artistic, since they
retain all their lustrc, and seem to follow
the observer. Sagatti died about fifty
years ago. lie. obtained his bodies from
the hospitals and iudurat ted them by i'm

The Range Journal reports that the
historic cattle trail is already thing of
the past, the end having come sooner
than was expected. The cattle that
were sent North this year have not
found market, and several herds
actually march back ward tho Pan
Handle of Texas. This marks the be-
ginning of new order of things. but it
may prove TO be Of real benefit TO the
interests that now seem to be most in.
jured by it. Next year Texas will have
an outlet by rail to all the great North
west. The cattle can be moved that
way without any particular skill on tho
part of cowboys, and the market i,
likely to be much more even and rcou-
lar one, in consequence of the greater
steadiness of supply. 1t would proba-
bly, be still more steady, as well as more
profitable to the sellers, if they could
agree TO sell at homo and let BUYERS
come after their property, instead of
sending it to be forced for sale on glut
Of offerings.
